Not that I'm against dirty movies or things bleak, but this just made me sad. Maybe I like escapism or upbeat timewasters, but this just made me feel bad about myself. I guess it was well done, but I can't watch it anymore.

If you want a really depressing and unforgettable movie-beatdown, I will suggest Seul Contre Tous from Gaspar Noe. It doesn't get more hopeless than that, promised. It stays with you long afterwards.

Being an exploiation film fan, even Combat Shock is too low budget for me

I was turned on to Combat Shock after hearing how disturbing it was and had high expectations(my fault really) and was disappointed. If I went in expecting a cheesefest of fun, my opinion probably would be different.
